Default Not so good start up..HELP!

Just went to go take my car down the street to get a hair cut and when I cranked it I heard a quick squeal noise followed by some white smoke out of the exhaust. Scared me so I shut it off instantly. What would cause this?! I know the white smoke can be from condensation or some antifreeze leaking but what is that squeal/squeak?!

Just finished installing my cam last night, it's a pretty big one. Drove it around this morning and it seemed alright other than that it won't idle when hot and surged around a bit, but its untuned and a big cam.

HELP!!!?!?!
